just wanted to get the word out to vote for the steelers at http://temptdestiny.com/eng/new.html so that they will win the right to be on the tempt destiny billboard. eagles are beating us and the ravens are catching up! you can vote over and over again also...... go steelers!:tt02:

Artist Manuel Morales did two billboards in support of the Giants back in the day. EACH TIME the Giants went on to win the Super Bowl. He then offered to do a 3rd billboard but was turned down. So he created a web site in 2000 for fans to compete for the 3rd billboard.

So last year the team with the most votes also won their conference championship game (the catch) and then the 3rd billboard was made. The rest as they say was destiny.

I got to admit this is strange stuff (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8joZ_9DuWU) but none the less true!

BTW - Steel Reserve, that's some butt kicking beer!

Eagles fans have discovered a way to beat us! I came across this thread on their message board:

It's even easier to click on vote the first time, but after that just hit backspace then enter, backspace then enter...... Mouse free voting.

Oh man that is much better than right click. At this pace we should close in on the Eagles sometime tomorrow, or even later tonight:

Eagles = 300331
Steelers = 250052
Cardinals = 207465
Ravens = 184224

We just made up another 10,000 in that last few hours :)

Using the backspace and enter key is really easy. You can make it go over a hundred votes in a matter of minutes if you do it fast enough.

HA HA, the Eagles fans have been caught red-handed! At the site's "What's New (http://temptdestiny.com/eng/new.html)" page they posted the following:

"BE ADVISED: It has come to our attention that some fans have been using a Firefox extension that reloads web pages automatically - NOT GOOD! This extension has proven to corrupt the voting results and so we must now ban users who use this Firefox extension."

At least now we have and even playing field... although with 4 days to go - WE NEED HELP!!!!

Here's a tip. I just opened http://steelerstemptdestiny.com/ in a new window, then all I had to do was hold in backspace.

I put a paperweight on my backspace button, went and had dinner, and came back to 1500 more votes for the Steelers than when I left.

because the Ravens and Cardinals aren't even close to us in voting, so, we'd win if the Eagles lost.

Actually, only the team with the "most" votes win the billboard rights. So if the Eagles lose and the Steelers win BUT the Eagles fans have the most votes the billboard rights go to next year's winner. That's what it says on the web site.

7steelcurtain5

01-26-2009, 12:07 PM

Well we did not win the billboard but at least we are going to the Super Bowl. The other good thing is that at least the Cardinals wont have the billboard either.

SB XLIII is OURS!

Meanwhile, I've still been voting for us from time to time (I'd still like to get us a billboard ). Guess who has showed up - Bills Fans? (http://buffalorange.com/showthread.php?t=136617&page=4)

They have NO CHANCE on winning this!

FYI - they are doing the UNLIMITED VOTING thing again today. It would sure be cool to see a Steelers TD billboard this time around. So far its 4 billboards - 4 Super Bowl victories!
